Your New Roads chiropractor is continually
on alert for relatable ways to answer
New Roads back pain patients’ questions. New Roads back pain
patients like easy answers. Your New Roads chiropractor at
New Roads Chiropractic Center does, too. Read more about these factors that guide
your relief of New Roads back pain, arm and leg pain.
CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN, MOVEMENT AND METABOLIC DISEASE
Chronic non-specific New Roads low back pain (LBP) presents
a huge socioeconomic problem although the
mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Impaired motor control is
one issue which was shown by a reduced
movement amplitude of the pelvis, more in-phase coordination,
lower ground reaction forces, greater stride-to-stride variability
and an elevated activity in spine muscles.
Impaired motor control during walking is reflected in greater
activity of the spine muscles which results in a stiffened lumbar-pelvic
region. (1) Dysmobility Syndrome (DMS) (abnormal spine motion) of the
musculoskeletal system and adverse health problems in older population is seen.
Abnormal spine mobility is associated with metabolic
syndrome (MetS) (2), and MetS involves a grouping
of cardiovascular risk factors (insulin resistance, hypertension, glucose
intolerance, low HDL-C, and hypertriglyceridemia. (7) DMS and MetS are related
in six domains: elevated body fat, declined
muscle mass, reduced muscle strength, osteoporosis, slow gait
speed, and balance problems. Notably, insulin
resistance was correlated to higher body
fat, osteoporosis and balance. This research showed
a strong relationship between DMS and the existence
of MetS and its mechanisms in the elderly population. (2)
Additionally, low high density lipid (HDL) cholesterol and
high low density cholesterol/high density lipid cholesterol ratio were
significantly associated with low back pain in a middle-aged Japanese
population. New Roads back pain patients are share the same
issues! These findings might back the atherosclerosis-low back pain connection
hypothesis. (3) New Roads Chiropractic Center helps New Roads chiropractic patients
with New Roads back pain relief and with their wish to fix
complicating metabolic issues.
EXERCISE
New Roads Chiropractic Center urges New Roads
chiropractic patients to exercise even simple
walking. A study assessed the effects
of an exercise therapy program on pain and physical dimension of health-related
quality of life for 57 young adults of an average age of 21
with musculoskeletal pain. A 9-week stabilization exercise therapy
program, used 60 minutes once a week, showed
improved pain and disability and intensified
spine muscle endurance. This report revealed that a
9-week progressive exercise therapy program can improve physical
health and decrease the prevalence of cervical
disability and low back pain in young adults with musculoskeletal
pain. (4) New Roads Chiropractic Center highlights that exercise is effective!
BALANCE CONTROL
New Roads back pain in elderly successfully reduces balance ability.
New Roads Chiropractic Center doesn’t see this as a beneficial
thing! These patients showed decreased
dependence on ankle and hip strategy for balance
control resulting in a discrepancy
of postural control from proprioceptive impairment. Also, older
patients with low back pain are at increased risk for lower leg
proprioceptive decrease and balance ability. (5) New Roads Chiropractic Center certainly
checks New Roads back pain patients for problems
with balance.
HAND GRIP STRENGTH
Another interesting
finding is low hand grip strength in women aged
over 50 years with low physical activity was significantly associated
with the presence of low back pain. (6) New Roads Chiropractic Center
finds this curious, but it is published!
